Written in 1971 by soon-to-be Supreme Court Justice Lewis F. Powell, it's called The Powell Memo (sometimes referred to as The Powell Manifesto). Powell created a Conservative call to arms. Decades later, you can see Powell's influence in enterprises like Fox News, in the work of the Koch Brothers, in ideas like 'Citizen United,' and in political initiatives like gerrymandering.

In August of 1971, Lewis F. Powell Jr. was about to be sworn in as an Associate Supreme Court Justice after previously turning down the same offer from President Nixon in 1969. Before being sworn in, he wrote a memo entitled, "Attack on American Free Enterprise System" (to become known as 'The Powell Memo') to Eugene B. Syndor Jr. at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The memo called upon Corporate America to aggressively shape politics, media, education and the court system of this country. Over 40 years later, almost everything Powell wrote about has happened.
